Thank you Mark i will be calling you I did email the surgeon yesterday and tell him to go ahead. It makes perfect sense that this is what i am suffering from. I feel now like i am walking like a gorilla. Not kidding. Everyone i haven't seen in even a few months notices the degeneration . My son asked me what happened? My brother asked me if i broke my neck again. My mom just said so this is the way you walk now. I am very self conscious about it all. i seem to only go out to Dr appointments and rarely some type of grocery store as i can hang on to the cart. I am going to start walking with a cane again to see if it helps a tiny bit. I saw a DrRasouli at Cedars Spine Center. I got so bad i could only make it to my kitchen without being totally hunched over, now not even that far. I have also read that it is progressive.
By the way Maria is up for a visit to her , but not her traveling . I am up for anything that gets me out of the house!!!
